Vegan and Cruelty Free Makeup Brushes

The other day I filmed a video about my favourite vegan makeup brushes and it's a question I see asked a lot. So I thought I'd do a post about some vegan brush brands (and brands with vegan options) for anyone looking for some animal free makeup brushes. The video is HERE if you wanna watch :)

Any that you cannot buy easily in a (UK) store will have a link to an online supplier next to it.

Brands whose brushes are all Vegan:

This only goes for brushes; not for any makeup that the brand manufactures. Any you can’t buy on the high street will have a link to an online supplier.

bdellium Tools (all the Bambu ranges of brushes are vegan but not all their other lines are) http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/brand/bdellium-tools

Crown (they have a couple of synthetic brush ranges and the product description for each one confirms if synthetic or natural (animal) hair) http://www.crownbrush.co.uk/

ELF – all the studio brushes are vegan but I’m not 100% sure that all the older ‘Essentials’ range are. http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/makeup/tools

Sigma (most if not all are vegan now, as they’re in the processing of swapping them all to their synthetic fibres, check product descriptions) https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/sigma-beauty

Tarte (check individual product page for the vegan symbol, as not all are vegan) http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-shop-makeup-brushes-tools
